Beware the Agitator, the man who protects himself from the storm by cowering under another man’s roof; who breathes air belonging in others’ lungs. He is the Thief of Time.

Beware the Phoney Philosopher, the man who experiences life from his comfortable chair; his avoidance of suffering is the price others pay for his arrogance. He will know the Meaning without desire.

Beware the Madman, the man whose body lives inside his soul; he will run for President, and others will rue.

Beware the Blogger, whose rantings pave streets with emptiness; only fools walk along them, and they shall know they have been deceived.

Beware he who calls others weak; his anaemic intellect lies prostrate, while their strength is absorbed, vampire-like, to feed the low esteem of the one who preys upon them.

Beware the Puritan, the man who sets boundaries which only he shall cross, alone and in secret in his room. How dare he call unclean that which liberates. His hypocrisy will damn him.

Beware the Phoney Intellectual, he who reads without understanding, speaks without thinking, and bellows his misunderstandings to the sycophants. He will know tears uncounted.

Beware the Statesman, whose dehydrated soul merely mimics Spirit; say not “he” shall be punished, for nothing Human remains.

Beware the Apologist, the man who swims in a dark sea; his mouth apes human speech, but a thousand miles of desert separate his voice from the Truth.

Above all,
Beware MAN, whose heart is black.
